Configure global permissions

XL Release includes fine-grained access control that ensures the security of your releases. In XL Release, you assign internal and external users to roles that determine the global permissions that they have. Global permissions apply across the entire XL Release system.

To configure permissions for roles, select User management > Permissions from the top bar. The Permissions page is only available to users who have the Admin or Edit Security global permission.

Note: Prior to XL Release 6.0.0, select Settings > Permissions.

The following global permissions are available:
